Norwati Roslim1, Aini Faridah Azizul2, Vahid Nimehchisalem3, Muhammad Hakimi Tew Abdullah4.
The increasing importance of using movies to enhance second language teaching and
learning has been addressed by researchers and educators. A few scholarly studies have effortlessly put
forward significant findings on using movies in the area of theoretical bases, pedagogical aspects and
learners’ perspectives. However, more studies need to be explored further as proposed by many scholars
in their suggested future research. Hence, this study aims to investigate perceptions and experiences
among university undergraduate students in exploring English language movies of their own choice for
their oral commentary presentations. A corpus of English movies selected by students was used to assist
students in their presentations. A total of 77 university undergraduates took part in the study. The data
was collected through an online survey which consisted of a three-section questionnaire: demographic
profile, learners’ perceptions and learners’ experiences. The data were analysed descriptively using
SPSS version 20. The results revealed that using movies has helped students mainly, in improving their
oral skills, vocabulary, interest and motivation as well as decreasing their anxiety and tension. This
study adds to the body of knowledge and benefits educators and instructors on using movies for
language teaching and learning.
